Recently there has been alot of "alarms" around the world about Bisphenol - A (BPA) causing all sorts of reactions. Since it's one of the main ingredients in epoxy it might be useful to do some reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A

Another reason to wear protective gloves when using epoxy. I've read a similar article w/ a concern towards water bottles that I use for biking and even travel coffee mugs.

"Epoxy resins containing bisphenol A are used as coatings on the inside of almost all food and beverage cans,....."

That's why I lowered my risk by drinking beer from bottles ;)

Something about this rings true. I get dressed up like I'm going to the moon whenever i'm laying up, I HATE that stuff.
